The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) is a massive, content-rich MMORPG that offers players an overwhelming number of activities. One of the most common pieces of advice for new players is to ensure they complete their daily activities. While most are familiar with daily writs, trait research, and mount training, there are several other lesser-known dailies that can significantly benefit your gameplay. In this guide, we’ll explore five underrated daily activities that you should consider adding to your routine.

1. Dragon Hunts in Northern and Southern Elsweyr

Most ESO players know about the dragons roaming across Northern and Southern Elsweyr, but fewer know that there are two daily quests specifically for hunting these powerful creatures.

Quest Locations:

One quest giver is located in the city of Rimmen in Northern Elsweyr. Another can be found in the Dragon Guard Sanctum in Southern Elsweyr.

Dragon Hunts are a great way to earn alchemy ingredients, which are used to craft powerful potions and poisons for endgame content. These materials also sell well at Guild Traders, making them an excellent source of gold.

Pro Tip: Southern Elsweyr dragon hunts tend to be more active with players, making them easier and faster to complete.

2. Dragon Guard Supply Chest (Southern Elsweyr)

A truly underrated daily reward is the Dragon Guard Supply Chest, located in the Dragon Guard Sanctum in Southern Elsweyr. However, there’s a catch—you must first unlock it.

Unlock Requirement:

You must earn the Dragon Guard Operative Achievement by completing 30 daily quests from the two quest givers in the Dragon Guard Sanctum.

Once unlocked, this chest spawns every day and contains valuable rewards such as:

New Moon Priest motifs
Overland gear sets
Alchemy ingredients (normally dropped by dragons)

This chest essentially acts as an extra daily dragon hunt with none of the effort, making it an easy and rewarding addition to your daily grind.

3. Dark Brotherhood Shadowy Supplier

If you have progressed in the Dark Brotherhood skill line, you gain access to an often-overlooked vendor known as the Shadowy Supplier.

Unlock Requirement:

At Rank 4 in the Dark Brotherhood skill line, you unlock the Shadowy Supplier passive skill.
Vendor Locations:
Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary
Thieves Den
Outlaws Refuges

This vendor provides daily rewards based on your chosen dialogue option:

Poisons/Potions: Receive a Toxin Satchel containing valuable potions, poisons, or alchemy materials.
Stealth Gear: Obtain disguises, edicts, or furnishings.
Equipment: Acquire a random item from the Touch of Sithis set, with chances for Gaze of Sithis leads or Sacrificial Hearts.

For players who are already engaged with the Dark Brotherhood, this is an easy and effective way to farm additional resources daily.

4. Infinite Archive Daily Quest

The Infinite Archive is one of ESO’s newer additions, offering an endless combat experience with scaling rewards. What many players don’t realize is that there is a daily quest associated with completing an Arc in the Archive.

Quest Reward:

Box of Archival Fortunes (used to purchase various valuable items)

ESO Gold and XP

While you can turn in the quest after just one Arc, completing multiple arcs in a session will increase your rewards.

Pro Tip: If you’re short on time, completing just one Arc is still a worthwhile daily routine. However, completing two arcs offers better rewards for the time invested.

5. Companion Reputation Dailies

Many players know that companions gain XP boosts from having a high reputation. However, few realize that certain daily quests grant significant reputation boosts to specific companions.

Daily Quest Types:

World Boss dailies
Delve dailies
Guild dailies

Each companion has unique preferences, so checking a companion guide to see which daily quests suit them best can greatly speed up their progression.

Pro Tip: If you want to maximize your companion’s level quickly, prioritize daily quests that align with their preferences.
